Hit play and stay awhile: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest — Ken Kesey, Robert Faggen – introduction delivers a full audiobook experience without signup walls.

We see the story through the eyes of Chief Bromden, the seemingly mute half-Indian patient who witnesses and understands McMurphy’s heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them all imprisoned. Hailed upon its publication as a “glittering parable of good and evil” ( The New York Times Book Review ) and a “roar of protest against middlebrow society’s Rules and the invisible Rulers who enforce them” ( Time ), Kesey’s forceful book went on to sell millions of copies and remains as bracing and insightful today as when it was first released. This new deluxe audio edition commemorates the 50th anniversary of the original publication of the novel on February 1, 1962, and will be a must have for any literature lover. ©1990 Ken Kesey (P)2012 Penguin Audiobooks A 50th-anniversary edition of Ken Kesey’s searing American classic. Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the lasting story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her.
